and water with the water mostly

target. Commander Ward took his
ship down just as an enemy de
stroyer passed close by.
Hears (Impact
Soon the Sailfish fired torpedoes
and heard the impact of two hits.
WithHf seconds she was being at

The attack continued for 30 rain

But then the picture, changed.
Tracers and depth charges came in
the Sailfish's direction, as the sub's
crew got their first full view of
their quarry. Moving cautiously
within less than a mile of its vic

Sailfish released more torpedoes

ccording, to . word . received by
V. H. JtfcCargar, district OPA
food j prce- specialist: (1) 1945

Fori the fciggest volume vegeta

tomato juice) there will j be no
substantial change from last

This was the concensus of
